About this listen

 Fascinated by history and an unwavering love for storytelling, author and filmmaker Alex Bescoby does not shy away from an opportunity to have both in one epic adventure. For Alex, history isn’t just a subject we study in school – it provides us with purpose. That purpose became documenting and sharing the story of “The Last Overland”, the return trip of Tim Slessor’s groundbreaking “First Overland” expedition from London to Singapore 65 years later. Alex shares with Jillian incredible stories from his journey, including the difficulties they faced with the vehicle and the lessons he learned along the way. Jillian also gets the scoop on Alex’s next great adventure, set to begin later this year.    Alex exemplifies the Citizen J tenet Blaze Your Trail.
